Blockstream Reviews

Pros

good place to work in crypto

Cons

most of the company is remote

Pros

You get to work with extremely intelligent people.

Cons

There are some personalities/egos in the company that reflect negatively on the company.

Pros

Out of all the places I have worked, I am most excited about the vision of Blockstream. The technology is fascinating, the team is filled with brilliant people, and most importantly to me - we are actually trying to better the world! I have tons of autonomy to really grow as a person and employee. Blockstream really values continuous learning and making employees happy, so they sponsor amazing events, conferences, and courses for everyone to attend.

Cons

As with any startup, there are growing pains. I've seen leadership do a lot of work to improve communication across the company, especially because we are a distributed team, so I imagine this is going to be a very constant challenge.

Pros

- Working on challenging technical projects - Lots of company activities - Work / life balance (lots of us have families with kids) - Great team of people - not a lot of political BS - Generous perks and benefits - Two offices that are always fully stocked with snacks and drinks - Competitive compensation

Cons

- Leadership doesn't always seem to be on the same page as one another - People who complain are rewarded more than the silent types - A small handful of people can be a bit rude or seem entitled

Pros

Insanely talented team, super cool projects, great brand value, excellent benefits and perks, high transparency with overall company direction and leadership decisions, good stock options and bitcoin payment incentive program, most individuals are friendly and easy to get along with, culture of openness leaves much freedom when it comes to expressing opinions, most mostly flat structure (you don't need to jump through tons of hierarchy to get your voice heard), flexible work hours and location, internal company calls and "lunch and learns" mean you can learn a ton of about the company and bitcoin industry directly from many of the top experts

Cons

too many projects for the size of the team, internal deadlines frequently missed, last-minute pushes without much advance warning

Pros

Great communication, great pay, can't really complain about anything

Cons

not much to complain about
